Introduction to Software Testing 🖥🔍

Software testing is the process of checking whether a software application works the way it’s supposed to ✅. It helps make sure the product is bug-free 🐛, reliable 💪, and user-friendly 👨‍💻. Even a small error can cause big problems, so testing is a crucial part of software development 🔧.

There are different types of testing:

Manual Testing ✋ – checking the software step by step by hand.
Automated Testing 🤖 – using tools and scripts to test faster and smarter.

For beginners, software testing is a perfect starting point 🚀 because it builds problem-solving skills 🧠, attention to detail 👀, and a deep understanding of software behavior 💻—even if you don’t know coding yet!
